Welcome to my new blog…Thousand Islands Crafter!!

Hello My Crafty Friends,

If you are here from "Crafty Brooklyn Army Wife", then you are at the right place.

I am starting a brand new blog for a number of reasons:

  • My husband retired from the Military and although I will always be considered a Military wife, I wanted my new blog to represent the new chapter in my life.
  • We retired to the beautiful Thousand Islands area in the Upstate NY. We have lived up here for over 12 years and absolutely love it. The Fall and Winter seasons are our favorite time of the year. We have the most beautiful Fall foliage and we get a ton of snow in the Winter (I will be sharing a lot of pictures here and I get a lot of crafting done because of the snow AND my husband switched rooms with me and so now I have a bigger crafting space!!)
  • Also, I have learned a lot of new crafts recently:
    • Junk Journaling
    • Alcohol Inks
    • Oil Painting on Canvas
    • Gelli Printing
I am so glad that you will be on this new journey with me. I am working on my new logo. I still have the same social media accounts, but, just changed the name of them to reflect Thousand Islands Crafter. You can reach me here: Facebook, InstagramTikTok, Lemon8.

I look forward to getting to knowing all of you again.

Patriotic Busted Canvas🇺🇸

Here is the latest Busted Canvas I recently created in a Patriotic/July 4th theme. 

I made this one out of Dollar Tree 8”x10” canvas board, 8”x10” regular stretch canvas. “1776” Printable by The Navage Patch. Scrapbook paper, picks, hat, stars, etc. are from Hobby Lobby.

It only take a 1-2 hours to make!!




Hope you like it!!
